And I'm guessing you've never seen Wilt, Russell, Oscar Robertson, etc. play. You'd pretty much have to be some 60 year old dude that's seen all of the all-time greats play in order for you to use that "haven't seen him play" card.

Oh well....I'll agree that Kobe could've won a couple more chips (at least), and secured a higher place among general consensus GOAT's (i.e top 2 instead of 5) if he would've left his ego off the court.
